The XLC Nanotech features the same lightweight materials and construction as the hyperlight XLC 390 crampons with the addition of innovative Sandvik Nanoflex^® steel reinforcements on the front points for increased durability, strength, and penetration on hard ice and snow. Automatic bindings offer the most secure fit for rigid boots with full toe and heel welts, including A/T and telemark boots.

Sandvik Nanoflex® is an innovative steel alloy that is stronger and 25% harder than normal steel which allows for a significant reduction in the amount of metal used, thereby decreasing weight while maintaining strength.
